The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of dietary fructose either alone or in combination with marginal copper deficiency in weanling male rats exposed to their respective diets for only 2 wk. This short duration of exposure to inadequate copper intake prevents progressive morbidity brought about by increasing periods of exposure to dietary copper deprivation. Weanling male rats were fed a copper-deficient (0.6 mu g Cu/g) or a copper-adequate (6.0 mu g Cu/g) diet containing 62% fructose or 62% starch for 2 wk. Either an oral glucose or an oral fructose tolerance test was conducted after an overnight fast. Insulin levels were elevated by either oral glucose or oral fructose at fasting and at 30 min postload in rats fed fructose compared with those fed starch. Despite high levels of plasma, insulin blood glucose was not reduced. Marginal copper deficiency had no effect on either plasma insulin or blood glucose. Data identify fructose as the sole agent responsible for inducing adverse changes in glucose metabolism Two weeks of fructose consumption was sufficient to produce these changes.
